MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) is a synthetic opiate designer drug that was accidentally produced during an attempt to create a heroin substitute. It has been shown to produce Parkinson's disease-like symptoms in users. Ecstasy, ice, and crank are not opiate designer drugs and have not been linked to Parkinson's disease.
